Meta-owned social media platform, Threads unveiled real-time search results previously, letting users search posts in the order in which they were uploaded. Currently, Threads is planning to take this experience to the next level by allowing users to create dedicated feeds based on search results.

What's updated in Threads?

The new updated experience is progressively being launched globally. With the help of this feature, you can search for a topic and then bookmark the search results. This will create a dedicated feed that will always appear in the Threads Home tab along with the ‘For You’ and ‘Following’ feeds.

This feature was already offered in the desktop version of Threads, which was upgraded in May with columns and real-time posts. Threads users can also create alternative feeds based on search results.

A companion app to Instagram, Threads was launched with several missing features, but most have already been addressed. It now has a web version, built-in translation, chronological search, fast switching between accounts, tags, an API, and even integration with the fediverse.

Things to keep in mind

You must ensure that the latest version of the Threads app is downloaded on your smartphone to get the latest features. Threads is free on the App Store and needs an iPhone running iOS 15.1 or later.
